My Firefox address bar only displays 20 characters of an address at a time when the address is longer than that. Help!

My Firefox address bar only displays 20 characters of an address at a time, even if the address is longer than that. For example, if I go to "http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/780169", my address bar only displays "http://support.mozilla.org/e" instead of the entire address. If I want to see the rest (...n-US/questions/780169) of the address, I have to manual scroll over to it. What can I do to fix this? Thanks!

I do (did) have HP SimplePass. I just uninstalled HPSimplePass, restarted my computer, restarted Firefox, and the address bar displays the entire address. Thanks a million!
